‘Well defender Richard Tait admits that the whole squad is hungry to get back to action after a short break.
The Steelmen go in to tomorrow night’s match against Inverness CT looking to bounce back from the 2-0 loss away to Celtic ten days ago.
Speaking to the press this morning, the right-back said: “It’s been a bit of a wait for this one so I’m really looking forward to getting back on the pitch and playing.
“When you miss a Saturday and there’s other teams playing you feel like you’re missing out, so the boys are raring to go for tomorrow night and we’re all just looking forward to getting back on the pitch.”

With the extra days off, Motherwell boss Mark McGhee has ensured his side keep their preparations on track, something Tait feels will get their bodies in shape for a vital run of games.
He said: “We’ve done a little bit more running and then had a few days to recover and try and refresh our bodies to get ready again.
“We’ve got three important games coming up so the little break and the little rest will have done our bodies good.”
On the Celtic loss, the 26-year-old said: “It was a disappointing result getting beat but we can’t do anything about the break that came after it.

“Yes, it would have been nice to get back in to another game and get a positive result straight away but we have a chance to put that right tomorrow night now.”
Inverness come in to the match on the back of a 1-1 draw with Kilmarnock, at the weekend, meaning that Richie Foran’s side are now without a win in three matches.
Tait knows that they will be hard opponents, saying to the press: “Inverness have played one more game than us and they’re a point ahead so they’re doing ok. They’re a strong, physical team so it will be a tough game tomorrow.”
He added: “Every week is a tough game and there’s always a tough battle against a winger or a team in general, but I’m looking forward to the future here at Motherwell.”
